Talk to me about…your research

I am a James S. McDonnell independent fellow at the Rockefeller University Center for Studies in Physics and Biology, developing computational methods for studying microbial ecology in the human gut and in the marine environment, and its contribution to human and environmental health. Microbes in and on our body have been suggested to contribute to numerous disorders including diabetes, inflammatory bowel diseases and autism. In past and ongoing work I am developing methods aimed at exploring the role of the microbiome in metabolic disease and its mechanisms of action.

 

Talk to me about…something people may not know about you

I am a certified pilot and flight instructor with more than 5000 logged flight hours. I used these skills to get myself through college and grad school, flying aerial photography airplanes during weekends.
